[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to pay teachers well and give them respect as professionals. We need to improve our education schools and make them more competitive and attractive to top performing high school students. (Which will be easier if the pay/respect is good when they graduate.)[/quote]

Watch the video posted above. Finland has the best teachers in the world. And even they can’t control inner city kids. The problem is the kids. Or rather, their parents.

Denying that means nothing will ever improve.[/quote]

I taught at some difficult high schools early in my career.  I was really good at classroom management and feel like my state test scores showed that my students were learning.  There were some other young teachers at my school having similar success.  The problem is it is exhausting to teach at schools with such behavioral and home issues.  We all burned out after 5 years or so because it was just so time consuming and emotional difficult.  I was working 60 hours a week for very little money.[/quote]
